The Reading Teacher article stated that The Partnership for Reading, helping the National Reading Panel (NRP), produced a booklet that presented the five principles necessary for the teaching of reading - phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and text comprehension.
There were five websites chosen for each principle. MyVocabulary.com was the first website listed under "vocabulary."
